Hate that Connor is going to one of the worst run football franchises, but glad he is getting an opportunity.

Owner Jimmy Haslam has already stated that Manziel needs to act like a backup QB.

Looking at Cleveland's roster, they will have 5 QBs in camp after releasing Vince Young a couple of days ago. They will most likely keep 3 on active roster, and probably one on practice squad.

Going into camp, Brian Hoyer has been named the starter. He is a 5 year veteran who has appeared in 15 games with one start.

Alex Tanney is the current backup on the depth chart. No game experience, he was picked up from Dallas where he was on the practice squad.

Tyler Thigpen is a 7 year veteran who has the most NFL playing experience at QB on the Brown's roster. Cleveland is his fourth NFL team. Tyler played college ball at Coastal Carolina, tough kid with a strong arm and will run.

Johnny Manziel - Rookie

Connor Shaw - Rookie

From my understanding, Tanney has been cut which leaves Hoyer, Thigpen & Shaw/Manziel

Before we all lay down at Connor's feet, it's important to remember that Manziel was a better college QB, especially during his Heisman season. He screwed the pooch last year and that is what hurt his draft status. By rights, he still should have been the higher draft choice and Shaw will most certainly be behind him on the depth chart.

That said, Shaw has better grit, character, and possibly a game that is better suited than Manziel to the NFL. I can't wait to see Connor get a shot in the pre-season. I might become a Browns fan!

Tell me again how the second season he had better stats and "Screwed the pooch?"
